: If you are going to disassemble your strongback, does it matter if it is
: internal or external. I find the biggest advantage of the internal
: strongback is you don't need to disassemble it. This lets you return the
: boat to the forms easily after glassing the inside. If I am using stables
: or other temporary clamping system, I can also remove the finished hull
: before finising the deck. This lets me reach inside which can help when
: instaling strips.

:But you don't get that advantage with the hot-glue
: system.

Yes, its wholy abt a method to loosen the forms as late as possible because of the hotglue system.

But you raise another advantage for the internal for shops who build multiples. It would be time consuming to have to go back and refix all the forms.

I guess that process I was talking to george abt(waxing (or some release) the form edges and wraping in some glass) would work here too. The key would be the release. Attach one of those industrial vibrators to the strongback thru the cockpit. I bet something would come loose(hehe).
